Made a couple of simple splash screens, since the last time I could, the G1 was the best phone on the market. I might as well share them.
Instructions:

Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Start RUU Flash mode
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Flash the custom splash screen
Code:
fastboot flash zip splash.zip
Make sure that there are no error messages when flashing
Reboot your device and enjoy your new splash screen.

Can you please post a stock splash screen as I have to return my M8 for warranty repair? TIA

I don't have the stock splash, but this one should be close enough.

are there any special instructions for MAKING a splash screen, i edited a 1080x1920 img with my name on it, is there any format i need to convert the image to, or just renaming it would do it?
ive looked all over the forums for how to do this for the m8 and nobody seems to give instructions on how to make a splash screen for it, they only provide their own splash.

The image needs to be in rgb565 format. Then you can replace the splash1.nb0 in a zip with the image you made.

I created one with the m7 splash creator, then opened your zip, deleted yours, added mine, renamed it splash1.nb0, and flashed it with your instructions, worked out great. Thanks a bunch.

[MOD/THEME]Off Screen Charging MOD

Before We Start
Disclamer:​
By doing his to your phone you take full responsibility to whatever happens on your device. The developer will NOT be held responsible to whatever happens on your device. Of course, this has been tested but whatever happens on your device will not be held against the developer.
Now to the good stuff
Today I Will Show You How To Modify The Off Screen Charging Images To Your Liking
Things you will need :​
[*]M8 Duh
[*]Computer With Fastboot
[*]A Photo Editor
[*]A Tool To Unpack Recovery.img's
[*]About 10 to 30min of your time
Common Sense
So Lets Get Started​First Decompile Your IMG I will Be Using This To Decompile My IMG
if your using the same tool as me then drag and drop the img on unpack.bat as seen in the picture
next navigate​ramdisk
res
offmode_charging_images
this is where we will be doing our modifying :laugh:
Now that you have your img decompiled and your in the offmode_charging_images folder
open up your fave image editor I will be using gimp(because its free and im broke lol)
key things here I kept my images at stock depth 600x362 I did not go any higher as I would think it would mess up you can try your self if you can go higher tell ME!!!
Now if you made pngs the format go's like this 0,1,2,3,4 the rest 5,6,7,8 and 9 just loop the first ones so just copy them and rename if you did not make new pngs just overwrite them
once your done messing with the pngs repack the imgs with the unpackimg.bat
now take image-new.img and put it in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot
Code:
flash recovery image-new.img
*NOTE* check to see if you can get in to recovery after flashing your new one
if not you messed up some where​
now power down your device and plug it in if you see your new modified images congrats

[THEME][TWRP] Change TWRP Splash Screen

Weak Intro :
Well, I find few people who're curious to change their TWRP splash screen and even the themes. Don't know how to do this weird stuff? You're at the right place! . I know few of them might be bored with staring at the same splash screen for a long time. How about trying something crazy? :silly:.
Prerequisites:
1. Knowledge of how to repack/unpack img. If you don't know how to do this, Just follow this thread by @osm0sis: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
2. A TWRP recovery image for our device which can be found here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/x3/
3. A splash screen image(format in PNG) of your choice.
4. Notepad++ for XML editing. You can get it from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.2.html
5. PATIENCE! :silly:
Procedure:
Ok now that you're happy with the prerequisites, Let's start being crazy!
I assume that you know how to use the Android Image Kitchen by @osm0sis and thereby I'll proceed without any AIK instructions.
Let's start!
1. Extract the TWRP image you wish using the AIK. To do this, Just drag the TWRP image file onto unpackimg.bat file
2. Now you'll find 2 folders.
-> ramdisk
-> spllit_img
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Leave the "split_img" folder aside.(We don't need anything to do with it) and open the "ramdisk" folder.
4. Open the "twres" folder and then right-click on the "splash.xml" file. Then choose Edit with Notepadd++ in the context menu.
5. Scroll down till you find the page XML tag.
6. Now, delete the lines as shown below.
7. Add this line shown below
8. All done! Now you need to get your PNG image of resolution 1920 x 1080(height x width) of your choice.
9. Go to this directory: ramdisk/twres/images. You'll find a file "splashlogo.png". Just Overwrite it with your PNG image and you're done!
10. Finally, you need to pack the modified stuff to make TWRP image. To do this, head onto the AIK folder and then click repackimg.bat. You'll find a a new file in the same folder called "image-new.img". This file is your modified TWRP img. Just flash it and you're good to go.

Do you want to be able to modify your system partition(including rooting the device) at some point in the future? If so, check the box beside the "never show this screen during boot again" then just swipe the slider at the bottom to allow modifications in the future.
Or
If you do not plan to modify your system partition in any kind of way, tap the "keep read only" button.

This happened to me multiple times, for me it was an error with flashing Treble GSI from google, tho i fixed it by going in fastboot mode/bootloader and on my PC to flash boot, lk, lk2, recovery (official one) and then reboot my phone, but you will delete the TWRP Recovery just so you know.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: I don't know if this will work for you and might brick your device if you don't use correct ROM files...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Also if it then boots into Fastboot mode than you can try flashing all files (It will factory reset your phone)
You have to install adb and fastboot on your PC
Commands:
cd *the path to adb and fastboot*
fastboot devices
fastboot flash *what you wanna flash* *filename of the file that you wanna flash*
For Example if you wanna flash boot it will be like ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) if the filename is with .bin wich most new devices use it will be fastboot flash boot boot.bin
Hope that this helps
